His Excellency tGoy. Wilson, shuts his
eyes to the most important question of all
the election of United States Senator.
The Legislature, however, has not had its
vision so obscured. 1t is alive to the i'm
portance of the question, and We have no
doubt will attempt to elect. Outside of the
Executive Department, the opinion is uni
nersal, both in the State and out of ii, that
the Legislature has the power to elect. The
power conceded, there can be no doubt
about the duty of the Legislature in the
premises. -Kanarha Gazette.

The Richmond Dispatch has vigorous
article on the duty of the West Virginia
legislature TO elect "a Senator at this extra
session. and referring to the supremacy of
the United States Constitution it cites a
case:
Some twenty FIVE OF thirty years ago
LYMAN Irumbui, OF Illinois, was whilst
Judge elected 90 the United States Senate,
Notwithstanding that the Constitution OF
the State provided that no person holding
the office of Judge should be elected Uni
ted State, Senator within less than twelve
months after going out of Office as Judge
Mr. Trumbulis seat was contested. But Of
course the United States Senate seated him.
The Constitution of the State was power
les, iu thc presence of the Federal COn>tl-
tuition. which itself fixes the qualifications
of senators. Similar will be the conclusion
reached hy the West Virginia Legislature
uu.c>, a majority OF it, members are struck
with judicial blindness. The Republicans
may vote against clectiug United States
Senator because they desire 90 perpetuate
the strife now pervading the ranks of the
Democrats OF the State II they dOsO vote,
their votes added 90 the votes of the Dem
ocratic boilers will have the effect OF sta
wing of the election of 81 United States Sen
ator for two wears, and giving Mr.. Lucas,
the leader of the boilers, an opportunity
20 claim the seat under the appointment by
the Governor. But il doesn't follow that
Mr. Luca, would get the seat. More likely
it is that West Virginia would have 20 con-
ten, herself for two wears with one United
States Senator

THE SOUTHWEST.

Certain alleged statesmen will be sur
prised when they see how many people
in the Southwest will argue for a debt
settlement in order to induce capital TO
seek investments in Virginia just as IL
does in other Southern States.
The statistics show that Virginia is the
richest State in the Union in natural
resources, but her wealth for the most
part lies in the ground, and the people
that live on the land above almost staryc
for want Of work because the demag0gues
teach them population and keep immi-
grafton away What will the next gene
ration think of the present one if this
suicidal policy is pushed further? We
know what the rest Of the world thinks
of us now, for aside from opinion, there
are plenty of men who have tried to
get money in the North to run a farm, or
a mine, or factory, or store with, and
the answer is always, Your security is
not worth anything in State that will
not pay It's debts
Why cannot the politicians tell the
people the truth instead Of iniaming
prejudice?
The Truth is that the large mass Of
voters DO rot pay any taxes, and it Is
they who will be benefited if the debt is
settled and capital brought into the
State.
But among other pleas is the one that
brings the question to sharp point for
the Democratic leaders. It is urged that
if the people pay taxes in coupons the
taxes will be doubled.
BY whom doubled, The Demo
cratic Legislature, Of course. But
Will the aforesaid statesmen be kind
enough to explain how, according TO the
very ideas Of Tie present Democratic
leaders, any party could maintain itself
and elect Legislature on platform OF
increasing the taxes?

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY.

Colonel Watterson explains at length
the reason why Cleveland will be nomi-
mated in 1888 as the exponent OF the re-
form in the tariff which is demanded on
all sides.
According to the Kentucky oracle, Mr..
Blaine will be the Republican nominee
again, and the flag of the Grand Old
Party will be still the bloody shirt. If
Mr. Watterson is right, and il looks quite
certain as he explains it, the Democrats
would be wise TO define their tariff policy
more positively than TO invent a catch
phrase that could be interpreted to mean
reduction Of the tariff and protection Of
manufacturers on account of labor.
When the Republicans had the Govern
ment the liberties Of the people were en-
dangered, and we might plead some excuse
for such evasion, but as the Democratic
administration is a success, and the party
is getting stronger every day, it is time to
declare a remedy for the standing outrage
Of the period, the imposition Of $4,000
600 Of taxes that the Government does not
require. Instead of inventing methods to
squander that surplus, we should abolish
and tighten taxes where they are most
felt, and in the line of the principles
which are fundamentally Democratic.
Mr.. Watterson is a sound Democrat,
and has often been heard on the occa-
sions when the muster was made for a
national contest.
His words suggest a further reach Of
policy than they actually express in the
direction Of opening all the markets Of
the world to all countries upon freer
laws Of trade than we operate under
now.
That is a homely illustration OF protec-
tive tyranny that popular orators have
initiated from Sidney Smith, and it ap.
plies to rich and poor alike. We para
phrase It into this parable The sinner
riseth up in the morning from the sheets
and blankets that arc taxed, and behold
he putteth on the tsx-ridden sock
and sandal and each piece Of raiment
that he putteth on remindeth him OF
about forty per cent premium that he
pays to the monopolist, for II IS written
that the home manufactures OF mean
thing is better than the foreign goods OF
a better quality at half the price.
And man walketh in the shadow Of a
mighty tribute that he must pay to the
monopolist, and many there be that see
not the horrible wrong Of the thing be
cause the giant prcvaricstors stalk about
crying aloud, this isprotection of labor
but all the same labor does not get any
better wages thereby.

SPECIAL AND PERSONAL.
The Coupon Boycott.

Not only Is the coupon boycott a
boomerang to the rural taxpayer, but il
is also "a deadly implement Of self-destruc-
ton in the hands Of the party that essays
its use. The liquor interest is "a strong
interest, especially in politics. 1t gener-
ally knows what it wants and isn't afraid
to ask for IL. In political fight II hits
right from the shoulder, delivering its
blows with telling effect, and is a power
of itself unaided. In this fight against a
boycott, declared in opposition to law,
morality, and every principle OF honor
and honesty, the liquor merchants would
have the aid of the church-and in
politics church and saloon are irresisti-
Die. No party could Withstand their
combined assaults, and no politician not a
bind fool Will expose himself to them.
Such threats are too puerile and trans
parent to alarm any one. The use OF ne
coupon is growing, and the fact that the
threatened increase of taxation, If ever
carried out, will apply as much to those
that pay in money as TO hose that pay IN
coupons, will greatly st nulate the ase OF
the latter. To paraphIase an illustration
from the Richmond Dtpatch in this con-
nec,ion, the rural members would do
maryelously well not only to catch their
rabbit before they skin il, but to be sure
as to the kind OF rabbit it is before they
commence the operation.-Indef-1 ppeSd-
